Yes half of 8 is 4 equaling 4/8. Since she knitted 5/8, then she knitted more than 1/2. Hope this helps:)

Answer:

Fraction of Scarf Knitted by Bess

[tex]=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Remaining fraction of Scarf which is to be Knitted

[tex]1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

equivalent fraction in eighths for 1/2

[tex]=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{4}\\\\=\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{8}>\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Yes, Bess has knitted more than [tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the scarf.
